    A Rediscovery of the Connotative Caturvyūha Healing Model in ĀyurvedaTherapy.
    (International Conference on Sanskrit Studies, 2017 Department of Sanskrit, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2017) Da Xing
    According to the Indian Āyurveda tradition, there are the Three Fundamental Principles (Skt. trisūtra), as the cause (Skt. hetu), the symptom (Skt. liṅga) and the medicine (Skt. auṣadha) as a medical systematic healing procedurein the original Sanskrit Āyurvedictext. Whileit goes intoa deep research in this evolutional progress that procedureshould be extended and transformed to a more perfect matrix as four-factor healing modelas the disease, the cause of disease, treatment and RECOVERY from disease.As a consequence, the Three Principles just miss an end result or effect factorwhich is considered as RESTORATION or RECOVERY. In fact, these four modelshave already been interspersed among the ancient Indian medical theory and practice but so far not yet formed intoaformula or matrix in the early Āyurvedictradition. However, when go through systematic investigation, there is no difficulty to find out that the concepts of four phases of process were disseminated but connotatively in the Āyurvedic system. Thus, inlater Āyurvedasystem, Āyurvedic methodologies should be adapted toa procedure of four-factor healing model as symptom, cause, recovery and treatmentto be a more usefulstructural formula. This one more stepped RECOVERY plus to the three principleswould renew Āyurvedicsystem in a holistic way to reveal healingdisease and free from sicknessin its relevant fieldmore reasonable andeffectively. Therefore, it is to be notedthat the Four-Factor Healing Modelas the doctrine of Caturvyūhacan bediverseapproachesleading to the result in associated cause and effect. In fact, these four steps of model can be divided into two divisions, the first three as philosophy and the last one as practice. In other words, the first two can be he first two can be he first two can be he first two can be he first two can be he first two can be he first two can be he first two can be he first two can be he first two can be he first two can be set to be the diseases set to be the diseases set to be the diseases set to be the diseases set to be the diseases set to be the diseases set to be the diseases set to be the diseases set to be the diseases set to be the diseases set to be the diseases set to be the diseases and and and diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosidiagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosidiagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosidiagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosidiagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosidiagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosidiagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi diagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosidiagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosidiagnosis while the last two constitutethe prognosi s and and treatment treatmenttreatment treatmenttreatment .Therefore, the four factors of the Healing Modelare not in non-singleness of causality condition, butare interconnectedinto the oneness of matrix. The objective of this research is to make a rediscovery of the connotative four factor medical healing model as a logic and scientific formula or matrix which is also represent with the condition of reduplicative causality in the Āyurvedic system.

    An Analytical Study of the Yogic Caturvyūha in the Yoga-Sūtra
    (Department of Sanskrit, University of Kelaniya, Kelaniya, 2016) Ven. Da Xing
    In Yoga tradition, the fundamental theory and practice adopts logic matrix as the Four Realities (caturvyūha) to discover problem and solve issues effectively. According to Yoga philosophy, the Yoga theories based on the discoveries made by the ancient thinkers from generation to generation which is refer to the teachings of Vedas, Brāhmaṇas, Āraṇyakas and Sāṃkhya darśana. Amongst them, Yoga was taken on various Sāṃkhic philosophies such as the theory of Triguṇa, Caturvyūha and Pañcaviṃśatitattva to establishment of own system. In point of fact, the term of the Caturvyūha which does not directly mentioned as generic word in the Yoga-Sūtra, but some inference forms and methods as Heya, Heyahetu, Hāna and Hāna-upāya appeared like causality condition through logical formula to analysis by the synthesis of four-factor model - the avoidance of suffering, remove the origin of suffering; cessation of suffering and the means leading to the cessation of suffering. In fact, this formula considered as the logical methodology and metaphysics that can be expounded with truths in the Yoga- Sūtra. In this connection, this logical distribution gives important information and evidence which indicate that discover the problems and solve the issues can be phased array in the model of orderly arrangement (vyūha), and this instruction is thus established by logical deduction to closed or understood yogic causality with the Four Realities, viz. the first three as philosophy and the last one as practice. In other words, the first two can be set as discover the problems while the last two as solve the issues. Accordingly, it is also found in this study that the theory and practice of the Caturvyūha are interconnected as the cause and effect to ascertaining the suffering and its ending in this systematic pattern. Therefore, an objective of this research is to make an analytical study of the Caturvyūha to understanding the philosophy and practice for formulated into a logical speculative arrangement and designed guide practitioners to eliminate the Kleśa, free from Duḥkha and end of Saṃsāra. And so, we note that the Four-Factor Formula can be improved by interdependence which also exists with the condition of reduplicative causality to realizing the yogic realities for attaining the Mokṣa.
